Does it hurt your frame rate? I have a pretty old computer with 4 gigs of ram and I have to play with everything off and scaling at 25%-75%, and it still lags sometimes. I usually have to play with probability of rain all the way down so I won’t be able to fully experience the mod, but I like the look of snow on the ground.
LikeLike
It doesn’t hurt frame rates, if you use the Heavy Winter addon that may improve frame rates slightly as there is less grass to render.

Is it possible to edit the file to remove snow from roads ? (Although I cant open the file with notepad) I like snow in the background but not on roads. Late autumn/mild winter version is too ”green” for me.

You’d need to open the mod and delete the road folder which is in the material directory.

Once you’ve downloaded the files place them in your mod folder, usually Documents/American Truck Simulator/mod, then open the game and activate the mods in Mod Manager.

Hi Grimes. Just a ‘heads-up’ in regard to using the Frosty mod with the 1.40 βeta. As was the case with the 1.39 update of ATS, the sky turns pink with 1.40 but unlike 1.39, the sky in that update, the sky was purplish.
I will say though, that using the 1.40 βeta, the snow on the ground and the precipitated snow is unbelievably good. As a matter of fact, the snow looks twice as good on the ground using the Heavy Winter addon, it is fantastic, whether it is the actual updated lighting of 1.40 or something else, IDK, all I know is how it looks to me.
I didn’t believe that it was possible for the snow to look better than it does, but it does. Just thought you’d like to know this. It looks like, as usual, the sky will be the sticking point in updating the mod.
LikeLike
The problem is that the old weather has to be scrapped and rebuilt using the new climate files in order to accomodate the new lighting system, simply copying the old lighting attributes into the new files won’t work as it causes issues, there are many new attributes that have to be included and some that have to be removed. I also have the headache of implementing and adding weather conditions that I created using the old system into the new system such as foggy weather, overcast conditions, snow etc. It basically means starting from scratch.

Maybe a silly question, but have not used any weather mods. So if I enable the Frosty mod, I’ll will get snow / winter in all states? Same with your other weather mods? In vanilla seems strange sometimes to get heavy rain in Arizona, but I presume the game engine isn’t clever enough to limit the rain to certain states .

You’ll get winter in all states, it’s not possible at the moment to have winter in one state but not in another.

Unfortunately I didn’t have enough time to complete the update for 1.40, instead I am now working on updating it for 1.41.

IMO, the 1.41 update makes more sense to pursue than the 1.40 update that it replaces. I would much rather wait for the latest version. When ‘Frosty’ is updated for 1.41, it will be all the longer that update will last before SCS updates the game again down the road.

I might also be able to publish a patch that allows those still on 1.40 to use the the mod.

Thank you very much! I didn’t have enough time to update it for 1.40 so it will now be updated for 1.41 and the Wyoming dlc when that is released.

This Winter, I will no doubt be taking screenshots of Devil’s Tower WY with snow on it, most likely will be uploaded to World of Trucks and Facebook/Twitter. Wyoming is already a very pretty state, but Frosty will the the ‘Icing’ on the cake, when it comes to eye-catching beauty. Your graphics and weather mods are taking the SCS games to new levels of realism. I think that update 1.41 may release by the end of next week and the Wyoming DLC will definitely release before the end of July.

Due to the amount of terrain colouring in recent map dlcs I’m not optomistic about Wyoming, SCS got in contact and told me that they are aware of the colouring issue but there is no easy solution, so unfortunatley it may be some time until it is fixed.

I don’t care how long I have to wait, it will be worth it in the end, as is always the case with your mods. You have ‘cornered the market’ on excellence of quality with all four weather and graphics mods. I’m constantly promoting your mods because I know the true value they give players as far as realism is concerned. Nobody does it better, Grimes. These mods are loved by so many of us players of the SCS games.
